Muck boots.
Always hated wellies with a passion, reminds me of freezing winters down by the river, fishing as kids. Best times of my life, but oh the agony we all suffered with our feet!
Never been a fan of wellies til i used some really nice ones working at a hatchery for a few weeks. There was none of that horrible sweaty sock, too hot or too cold feeling, super comfortable to walk in, like walking on cushions n got good air circulation.
But they werent really "outdoor" wellies.
A few family members who have got through quite a lot of expensive wellies have bought muck boots and not looked back since.
A friend of mine got some xtratuf wellies, they look really nice also n heard good things about them too.
When we had flooding earlier on in the year there was a couple of times I wished i had some tall rubber boots. My leather boots while they are well treated, theyre only good up to where the bellows tongue ends
if anything all that time spent waterproofing the boots just makes them harder to dry once it spills over the top haha fortunately they are unlined and i can remove the insoles so its no bother.
But i could really get behind a good pair of rubber boots.
Leathers brilliant as a year round, general purpose material, but in those conditions where for weeks on end, when you leave the house you just cant keep your feet dry.
And while id NEVER wear slip on boots, the fact you can slip your mucky wellies on and off is a bonus.
